Yesterday, 3 Feb 2010 was history! Arissa's 'dummy'/ pacifier which she used from d day she was just few days old 'terkoyak' - worn out, almost 2 years now anyways. High time to koyak.
So, Arissa refused her dummy for d very first time - kalau tak tak mau renggang pun & every now and then, 'teddy-a'2 (referring to her dummy/ pacifier coz slalu package sekali ngn Mr Teddy aka bantal busuk dia).
Guess it felt weird in her mouth...I was like 'Ohh, goody ;)' coz been trying to get her to stop sucking on her dummy. Nampak so buruk when she jalan2 around with her dummy in her mouth esp now coz she's a big girl aready. Arissa's wan oso advised me not to but new dummy for her or else she wud think that Mummy can always easily get her a new dummy everytime her dummy rosak.
Am happy too that yesterday nite, she sleep thru d nite without crying for her dummy & after her feeding at 4am this morning too she did not ask for it. Oh boy, hopefully she'll be off her dummy today onwards...Insya'Allah!

On another note, one of Arissa's fav phrase now when a person/ thing is not around when she's looking for it - she wud say 'GONE'. So, its always; Mummy GONE, Ayah GONE (When we're off to work), Wan GONE (Arissa's wan off to d shop/ market & she's left with her Nyang), Awa (my 2nd brother- Anwar) GONE, Asha (3rd &4th sis- Aisha/Zkya...she cant quite pronounce Kiyah yet- so combo 2 aunties dia sekali) - when they're off to campus/ hostel again.
So, yeah...Dummy GONE! Weeehu ;)
